Users can view submitted QSOs and resulting QSLs online. Radio amateurs can use LoTW to track their progress toward achievements and awards, such as The ARRL Worked All States Award, and amateur radio\u2019s premier award, DXCC\u00ae, in which membership is achieved by confirming on-the-air contacts with 100 countries. LoTW was introduced by ARRL in 2003. Today, over 2.1 billion QSO records have been entered into the system.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arrl.org\/news\/view\/arrl-logbook-of-the-world-return-to-service?rand=771671\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>07\/01\/2025 ARRL The National Association for Amateur Radio\u00ae\u00a0will return\u00a0Logbook of The World\u00ae\u00a0(LoTW\u00ae) to service at\u00a010:00 AM EDT on Wednesday, July 2, 2025.
